Nice! I've done three models, a Viper, a Supra, and an Eclipse. They're pretty fun to make! How do you go about making panels like the bumpers from scratch?
 
its up to you! let me here your guys ideas

Turbo? fp3052? 35r? :D
Turbo Wing? Wingless?
Working headlights/taillights?
exhaust?
rims? silver, aluminum, black.

oh course i gotta have the black leather
 
I had a model of my AE86 before I bought the actual car. I was soo sad ### it was stock (The model) and when I painted it it bubbled. I was like Ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuu. Skip ahead 2 years and I actually bought one. I still get sad I ####ed the model up.
 
I got bored too and decided to make a model car too but I am going to take it all apart
and make it a r/c car from some old r/c parts that I had off a big mustang. I am working on it now but I don't know if it's going to work.

OH OH OH There's a new gas station on uhhhh. Ffffffffffffuuu. The new gas station around Sunset.

Which one sells race gas?
Also Steve. I'm gonna have to tune this for you when you get it done, okay?
 
Did that model actually come with a tiny 4G63t, or did you make that? If you made it, you got SERIOUS talent dude! Tell us how you made it, if you made it.


As far as build goes, keep it simple. 3076R, fully built 2.0l with meth injection, short route FMIC kit, and DEFINITELY do the 2gB Turbo spoiler to compliment that front bumper. :p
 
i made the valve cover, and timing belt section by hand.

okay here it is.

Pump Gas
2.0l
FMIC (might be short route)
Turbo? still not sure, but its gonna be huge!
DSMlink V3, lofty i will need your help tuning it
2gb Spoiler (made by hand)
Working headlights/taillights
Painting it silver like mine
Cut a sunroof hole
Rims? idk which ones, i can also buy a set off the internet, i want 2gb GSX stockies though.
